Trivia
First produced cinema movie screenplay solely written by John Hughes. Hughes admitted to not being particularly proud of this script.

Goofs
During opening scene set in 1972 (ten years prior to 1982 reunion), most of students wear clothes and hair styles from late Fifties/early Sixties, probably to make it more apparent that considerable time had passed.

Quotes
Mary Beth McFadden: Bless me, father, for I have sinned. It's been one year since my last confession. Father, I have on occasion used foul language. I have lied, not just little white lies, but great, big, sinful ones. I shoplift all the time, Father.
Astounded Husband: Darling!
Mary Beth McFadden: I'm an exhibitionist, Father. I like to expose myself to strangers, especially authority figures. I hold the neighborhood record for most repairmen satisfied in a single afternoon. I have an enormous collection of vibrators, Father. I have them in all assorted sizes. I have one that's in the shape of a crucifix. My God it's gorgeous. Oh my God, I put it up and put pictures up on the wall of all kinds of things. I listen to Barry Manilow, and over and over and over again, I think of priests and nuns, and that movie the Exorcist, how did it go, rrraaahhheeerrr?

Alternate versions
ABC edited 13 minutes from this film for its 1987 network television premiere.

S10 Reviews: National Lampoon's Class Reunion (1982)

The Class of 1972 from Lizzie Borden High (nyuk, nyuk) is all gathering together for their ten-year reunion. All those guys you remember are back. The jock, ms. Popular, the cripple, the nobody, the class pump, the girl who sold her soul to the devil so she could get rid of leg braces and now breathes fire and has an Exorcist thing going on and let's not forget Howard Baylor. Baylor escaped from the loony bin just to get back at the poor slobs who pulled the senior prank on him (he made-out with his twin sister) and put him there to begin with. All that and a National Lampoon charter to bootWhoa Nelly!

Certainly not the most popular National Lampoon film (it's got a serious reputation for being bad) but I actually had fun with it. It moved at a pretty fast pace with enough bad jokes and screwiness to keep me entertained. Give it a view. "National Lampoon's Class Reunion" may grow on you like that rash you got from gym.
